App Mover is used to free up drive's space by moving applications/folders from one partition to another. It helps move applications/folders from one partition to another safely and effortlessly so that you can free more space on the original partition. Moved applications/folders will work without issues on the destination location, and you can also restore them back to the original location.

To restore applications/folders
When you have moved some applications, you might want to restore them to the original location due to some reasons. App Mover can restore moved applications and folders.
Step 1. Install and launch AOMEI Partition Assistant, and then click "Free up" and "App Mover".
Step 2. Click "Manage/Restore", the applications and folders you have moved before will be listed, choose one or multiple apps or folders you want to restore and click "Restore".
Step 3. You will see a pop-up message to confirm forcibly closing running applications when restoring starts. Click "OK" to begin the process.
Note:
- To ensure the apps run properly, please don't move or delete files in the source and target directory.
- You can see operation records of app movement in "Manage/Restore"-->"View Logs".
- If you move the installation directory of moved applications manually to another location, AOMEI Partition Assistant might be unable to detect it. You need to select the app and then re-load the current location under "Manage/Restore"-->"Repair Location", then you can do the restore.
- When you move the application to another location successfully, you will see a shortcut of the installation directory in the original location. This will not take up disk space and please do not delete it.
